edge of eden

there's a field of gold

there's a silver river

there's a place i know

i left it all behind

chasing every high

chasing sirens' singing

fell for every lie that left me here to die

tears taste bitter

fools gold glitters

now i curse my eye

finally i can say this to you

i have been a blind fool

wasting all you gave to all that's left

the sorrow breaking both my shoulders

i'd give anything to start over

'till then i'll be here standing at the edge of eden

now my hands are cold

and my stomach's empty

i betrayed my home for one forbidden bite

tears taste bitter

fools gold glitters

now i curse my pride

finally i can say this to you

i have been a blind fool

wasting all you gave to all that's left

the sorrow breaking both my shoulders

i'd give anything to start over

'till then i'll be here standing at the edge of eden

you gave me life

i gave you shame

i took all your love and i threw it away

don't call me your son

i don't be deserved to be counted as one who would carry your name

finally i can say this to you

i have been a blind fool

wasting all you gave to all that's left

the sorrow breaking both my shoulders

i'd give anything to start over

'till then i'll be here standing at the edge of eden

standing at the edge of eden

standing at the edge of eden
